Topic: How do you see a gambling review website that has its own gambling website? - page 3. (Read 531 times)

It is possible but I have never seen it till now, even if an owner of review site decided to have his own gambling site, he has the right to do it because maybe he is motivated to have his own casino after doing so many reviews. However, if he is professional, it will be better if he does not make the review of his own casino in his own review site as it will be very subjective to make his own casino much better than others.

I consider it worng in all shades. As long as my opinion is sorted, I'll propose that they included review to get users to their site and they sure used it as a marketing strategy to acrue more clients including the clients of those whose gambling website they are to review.

Be straight with what you want to do, a gambling site or a review site. It is not difficult to state.

review site but having their own gambling site, almost every experienced person will definitely avoid it because if a gambling site has very good reviews while the reviews are from the same owner it will definitely give a lot of doubts and questions whether the reviews are genuine from other people or just manipulation of the reviews alone?
well, of course it is very rare for a review site to have its own gambling site which in the end will only cover its own reputation and will definitely get few customers because in this case it is unnatural.

from most of the replies I read they also said the same thing that never go to a casino that has its own review site and choose on another gambling that has genuine reviews from real customers like on this forum.

Indeed, there are high chances it's happening for real! When we look for reviews about casinos, first of all we have to make sure the author of such articles is independant from any platforms of the industry. If he is paid somehow to write the article or if he is a direct member of the platform he is reviewing, you shouldn't stick only to his article when drawing a conclusion about a website, rather keep looking for more reviews and compare one to another, so you will know which of them are biased.

However, don't completely disconsider a review written by the casino about itself, because even though they are biased, they may bring important and valuable points about the features offered by the platform. Instead of reading it as a review, write it aware it's a propaganda.

Next, you can ask to other gamblers if they know those features and what was their personal experience with them. This way you will have independant feedbacks which will endorse or not the "propaganda" you read.

As long they dont really scam out their users then it would be just fine, its not our first time on seeing that a particular site do really make out those tag lines or banners about being first or the most or something like that kind of lines on the time that they would really be launching. If they do make out their self review then it would be understandable that it would really be something bias
but if you are really just that dont minding about those informations and you've seen that they are really that good looking and have that proper management and team
then it wont really be that a bad idea on testing them up.It is really just that there are people who are really that too negative when it comes to new platforms.

I don't actually mind it since gambling sites are freely to established its own review site. What should you be concerned of is how users will react on that. It's not these sites will have to adjust but the user itself. Regardless of the purpose of the site building their own review site, users just have to mind their own business as long as we don't see any inappropriate actions there by the site itself.

Being biased? being more positive to its own site? Of course because that was their review site. They can put everything positive there about the site and users just have to be vigilant if they will buy those information as reasonable or not.

Well of course stuff like these makes me doubt the validity/credibility of the content they put out, not the reputation of the site.

The thing is that only reputable and honest-to-god casinos will go the extra mile of pushing out relevant content in the world of gambling. But oftentimes their content can be biased towards them since they can easily veer people into thinking that they are the best casino against the competition. Any people who chooses their casino willy-nilly may fall victim to this and actually become enticed by reviews made to make specific casinos look better than they actually are and this could ultimately alter the gambler's experience and expectations.

But at the end of the day I don't really see it as a massive red flag. After all, experience will still be your defining factor to determine whether a site's really been honest to their users or not. So while reviews may steer people into signing up with a particular gambling site, it's still going to be their overall experience that will decide whether it will make them stay or go. So all in all I think users are still kept safe against fraudulent sites.

You already answered the question for me because there is a very big chance of the reviews being biased to paint their business as the best. Even If the gambling review websites do not own any gambling platform, experience teaches me not trust them completely because some of these gambling review websites care more about the money that leading gamblers to scam free gambling platforms, and they can get paid to write positive reviews about a casino or sportsbook by the owners.

There is a conflict of interest, the reviewer cannot look at the other casinos without comparing his casinos and since a casino reviewer is a marketing platform he will likely favor his casino and will use all the other casinos just to advance his casino's interest

There's a possibility that there are review sites that own their casino but they do not attach their review site to the casino as it will have bad feedback on the review site, and about trusting a review site as long as he is not favoring and he retains his transparency and balance on his reviews I can trust the review site, but as always the casino partakes the reputation of the review site and vice versa.

That's when our common sense comes in. Of course, if you encounter a website with the reviews of different casino websites, then you should have common sense to detect whether the opinion or review is legitimate. It's really happening, and it's a common thing that reviews from different casino websites can be scripted or there are hired people that will give reviews to a specific website. It's part of a strategy to boost the reputation or ranking of a website.

The question is, will you easily believe in reviews? Of course you can, as long as you prove that they are legitimate. You should do your research on a website aside from the reviews. I personally read reviews and comments from someone on a website where I play casino, and I can see that most of them are fake or scripted. That's when I will use my capability to do research on my own.

There would be conflict of interest, a lack of independence and problems with casino regulators.

Such a casino would gain a competitive advantage over their competitors but would be the most hated casino in the history of casinos because whatever honest and genuine reviews they published would be viewed as a direct or subtle attack on their competitors.

A gambling website, OP, you mean a casino that also runs a gambling review. It's not wrong, the site can be a byproduct. Where the casino also gains traffic to their main website. Whatever they rank their own casino doesn't matter, provided they've mentioned the casino and review site is run by same administrator. Gamblers who use the review site, would only need to focus on the casino that concerns them, if the review site's casino is worth it the visitors can use them and check if the rating on the review site is true. It's more like having a blog as a casino. No much gap in the difference. However, gamblers still need to do their research on other casino review sites about the casino, whether what is written on their review about their casino is similar to what other review sites have to say. Doing that shouldn't be a big deal. Casino are only using those contents to increase traffic to the main casino. It's more like a social engineered means of reaching out to people.

When a gambling review site is running it own gambling site, there might be compromise When reviewing their website especially if their own website does not have what it takes to attract real gamblers based on the dishonest pattern of stealing from their customers. If their is any of this site that review gambling platforms and has it own gambling website active, gamblers would have to be careful when making decisions on what platform to use and bet. It is very important for us to make research before deciding to use any of these sites since they can compromise things.

IMHO, it is still going to depend on how biased they are with their reviews. Because they can make the other casinos have low rates or rank with their own reviews but on them, they're top-notch. This is what we usually see if they own a review's website and then at the same time own a casino. Sure, there is a conflict of interest and we're all free to choose whether we like them or not. If we don't like that they're doing reviews as well while running their own, that's enough reason to find another one.

We can understand how they're going to review their competitors and if you think that it is not justifiable then that's it, they're actually bias. But if given the chance that they're just doing it as well for giving people the equality to review each casino that their customers will choose to gamble, that's nice. But is there one that does it? I don't think a casino is good to have their own reviews with other casinos. It's good to give their customers platform to review them on their own but it doesn't make sense to me if they'll have this service as well and will give exposure for their competitors whether good or bad reviews, it's still publicity and help.

Hmm, maybe there are some honest and genuine reviews from customers, but I'm not sure if those are 100% honest and genuine reviews from their users. Surely there are some of them who are actually from the gambling sites themselves who order reviews or make reviews. So at least there will still be good reviews on the website. and it can be seen that if the website is a reputable site, in fact they have to be prepared for all risks and reviews, but unfortunately many people only care about visible reputation. So the city could say that the city should not trust these reviews too much. 100%.

@OP
Certainly, this will raise several problems and legitimate questions regarding the integrity of the articles on the review site, especially those of competing platforms. It would be obvious to raise doubts about the launch of a review site by a casino (or vice versa), but this never leads to a firm conclusion that the casino is not honest in its service or that the reviews are biased. This will remain a relative conclusion until something confirms or denies it with evidence and proof.

I do not think it is a wise move to launch both projects at the same time, due to the ability of one to negatively affect the other. Any rational person would think before taking such a step, and in my experience I have never seen anyone do this. Especially since he can adopt alternative plans, the most important of which will be to abandon the review site project by shutting it down or transferring its ownership to a neutral party. Also, managing a casino can free its owners from other projects.

The thing about the reviews and I'm delicate, we always do anything so that the reviews adjust to our interests, because things when they go well are not all the time, as I have said on several occasions, some casinos always focus more in pleasing its users with slots, or with a type of game that is popular, currently what I see that is most popular is the slots, previously what was most popular was the game of poker, but this Varies according to the people's taste , all the time we will focus on something that has a lot to do with what can happen for the better or worse of some type of people, for example a novice player has nothing cool, nor what tricks are going to be unleashed on him, In my case it was never the slots, I only liked dice and poker, also black jack, but later I didn't like it because the casinos don't have anything like pvp, which I see as having the option of winning, it's something that always I'm going to see it as a premise.

Now things are very open to other casinos, in this forum I consider that it is the best to allocate our money to a site that is safe, Trustworthy, that has a very high Reputation , because that is the easiest way to having our money secure , of course we are people who are always looking for ways to do things better, but basically we must stick to looking for the platforms that give us more confidence, because we cannot Afford to be Scammed , That would be the last thing , for that Reason things are made very clear from now on, the reviews must know how to use them so that they adapt to our tastes, once we have them I consider that the most important thing to Consider is whether the casino is reliable or No, if it is old and it can offer so much in Terms of Security , for me that is Essential, and well from then on you look for your Games.

It is not good to judge a casino by the reviews of the casino there.
Reviews of casinos carried out on a site where they are or the website reviews the casino itself are bad for judging.
The best reviews are done by other parties who do not have the casino reviewed in them.

If the person doing the review is themselves, it is the same as telling other people that they are good
It's not good to believe if the method is like that.

Everything which is bias are shit and this is something that must be avoided because we do know that this is where scams do really came from and if you are really that someone who do able to encounter new service or platforms which are really just that newly launched and then they do really that make out some very positive reviews into their own site then better think not to make some deposits into that.
You are really that putting up on such danger just because you've been that dealing on a site on which it isnt really that even honest or being that transparent.
Its impossible that you wont really be able to determine when it comes to behavior aspect on which it is really just that right that you should really be thinking up this way.

Stick into those known ones rather than on making yourself having some problems on new platforms which they are really that even bias into their review. They have done something which
does really oppose into that basic principle which it isnt really that good after all.

If they are big or not or even whether affiliated or not, the moment that are biase about their review on the mother casino then they have set the pace for distrust. So in such case, they need to be careful if they want to continue being in business because one bad biase review on themselves puts them in the doubt of their review but as to having a review site from a casino, I don't think it is an issue.
